Zandu Care Limited (formerly Zandu Pharmaceutical Works Limited)[4] is an Indian multinational pharmaceutical company based in Kolkata.[5] Its core business is manufacturing and dealing in Ayurvedic and medicinal preparations and owned by Emami.

History

[edit]

Established in 1910 by Prabhashankar Pattani, Prime Minister of the erstwhile state of Bhavnagar with Zandu Bhatt, Zandu went public in 1919 with the issuance of stocks.[6]

The company derives its name from Vaidhya Zandu Bhattji, the original founder of the firm named Zandu Pharmaceuticals. He was a renowned Vaidhya not only of Gujarat but India in late 19th century and early 20th century. The Vaidhya family's stake has been sold to Emami in 2008 for ₹730 crores [7]
